Madison Quest attended Badgers volleyball matches as a child. Now she’s making a name for herself as a freshman hitter.

Wisconsin freshman Madison Quest was one of the few silver linings for the Badgers in their overall-uncompetitive outing.

The Pewaukee native - starting again in place of the injured Grace Egan at right-side hitter - had a team-high 10 kills while hitting .421.

Madison Quest continues to shine even as a true freshman.

MADISON — Another unranked opponent, another Wisconsin volleyball sweep.

The Badgers swept Rutgers, 25-17, 25-17, 25-12, on Sept. 26 in their Big Ten opener at the UW Field House. It was the sixth sweep of the season for Wisconsin, which includes all five of UW’s matches against unranked opponents.

Madison Quest was always destined to be a Badger. The Pewaukee native's mom played volleyball for the Badgers, and her dad was a Wisconsin basketball player. 

The outside hitter's journey took her to Madison.
